Shortly after the formation of
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in January 2019, a recurring segment of
The Young Bucks' (AEW Executive Vice Presidents
Matt Jackson and
Nick Jackson)
YouTube series
Being The Elite began. The segments revolved around AEW wrestler
"Hangman" Adam Page, who was always in his full ring gear. The 135th episode of
Being The Elite, which was uploaded on January 31, 2019, was in turn titled "Full Gear". AEW in turn took the title and used it for their November 2019
pay-per-view (PPV) event. The
inaugural Full Gear PPV took place on November 9 that year at the
Royal Farms Arena in
Baltimore, Maryland. With
All In becoming one of AEW's annual events in 2023, it supplanted Double or Nothing as AEW's marquee event, and overall biggest event of the year, with the previous "big four" plus All In becoming the "big five". Out of the five, Full Gear is the only one that is traditionally held on a Saturday, so as to not counter-program against the
National Football League's
Jacksonville Jaguars, which is also owned by the Khan family. == Events ==
